Le Jour J par ceux qui l'ont vécu - Ép. 1 " La nuit la plus longue #histoire #ww2 #overlord #dday

Hundreds of thousands of men and women involved, an armada of 5,000 ships, the largest amphibious operation of all time: Operation Overlord is an event of superlatives. In this series, I invite you to relive that day beyond the statistics, from the perspective of the people: they were paratroopers, rangers, commandos, officers, ordinary soldiers, or members of the Resistance, American, British, Canadian, French, or German. They were caught up in events that overwhelmed them and, for most, left them deeply traumatized. 📚 Sources: Annick Cojean, Nous y étions. 18 Anciens racontent heure par heure le D-Day (We Were There: 18 Veterans Recount D-Day Hour by Hour), Grasset, 2024.
